Subject: Small cleanup to src/dash.1 - Command Line Editing

Hi

src/dash.1, under Command Line Editing, states:

	It's similar to vi: typing <ESC> will throw you into command
	VI command mode.

- There appears to be no need for both occurrences of 'command'
- I can't see a reason for VI to be capitalised
- 'will throw you into' seems a little... enthusiastic

Following diff changes it to

	It's similar to vi: typing <ESC> enters vi command mode.
